For Christmas this year Santa gave me a Greater African Tortoise named snapper.

He was very enjoyable for the first hour or so, but now he has begun to screech incessantly and chew apart my sofa. I tried feeding him some chips and salsa but he didn't try a single bite!
I have looked for advice from various pet sites but cannot find anything pertaining to my situation. Has anyone else had experience raising these creatures? What should i do to subdue his wrath?
